HP P6000 Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide (5697-2274, November 2012)

Setting the SmisRequestTimeout to a value less than the default will increase the
chance that the P6000 Cluster Extension resource DLL will time out and not complete
the online of the P6000 Cluster Extension resource. Setting the SmisRequestTimeout
to a value greater than the default will increase the time in which you will get a
response from user interface functions such as the Connection Test function and the
clxconf utility if HP SMI-S does in fact have a longer response time than the
SmisRequestTimeout value.
Default
value
180000
APPLICATION objects
The APPLICATION section defines the failback behavior of P6000 Cluster Extension for each
application service. APPLICATION is a multitag that can appear in the configuration file for each
application service using P6000 Cluster Extension.
The APPLICATION object requires the name of the application service as its value. The objects
specified after an APPLICATION tag must appear only once per application. As with COMMON
objects, APPLICATION objects have predefined default values.
P6000 Cluster Extension uses the following rules to define objects:
• If you use the default value, you do not need to specify the object.
• P6000 Cluster Extension uses objects that might depend upon on the settings of other objects.
For example, if you set FailsafeMode to ENABLE, P6000 Cluster Extension uses the values
specified for FailsafeModeOverride. However, this object is ignored if you set FailsafeMode
to disable.
• The pre-execution and post-execution functions in P6000 Cluster Extension will not be processed
if the associated object values are empty. This is the default setting.
To set APPLICATION object values for the CLI, modify the user configuration file.
To set APPLICATION object values for MSCS, use Failover Cluster Management (Windows Server
2008/2008 R2/2012).
APPLICATION
Format Tag
Description Distinguishes between general and application-specific objects. Specify the name
of the application service. The format of its value is equivalent to a string value.
ApplicationDir
Format String
Description Specifies the directory where P6000 Cluster Extension searches for
application-specific files, such as the force flag or online file.
If ApplicationDir is set to a nonexistent drive, P6000 Cluster Extension is unable to
create the online file and cannot bring the resource online.
Windows
If ApplicationDir is not set, P6000 Cluster Extension uses the local
%HPCLX_EVA_PATH% values as defined in the registry.
Default
values
%HPCLX_EVA_PATH%
Files resource_name.forceflag
resource_name.online
